I like Last Starfighter the way it is. I like Rollerball, 2001, and King Kong just the way they were originally made. I wish George Lucas hadn't meddled with Star Wars.

I LIKE old movies. The changes in the art and science of movie making are themselves interesting to me.

I'm a huge fan of "Starfighter" AS IS and I love the "Flight of Nav." too. "Rollerball" is great also and some movies shouldn't be messed with.

If Hollywood writers would get their noses out of the snow perhaps we could have great original movies again.

I totally agree. I watched THX1138 the other day and was not pleased with Lucas’s “improvements”. The original has such a subtle genius to it that you wonder how the same guy could have chosen to screw it up like that. Apparently the only version Lucas has allowed to be released on DVD is the updated one. The original can only be seen on VHS or I guess maybe laser disk.
